Import & Export

cURL import

Paste any curl command directly into the URL bar. Reqline parses:

• URL and query parameters
• Method (-X POST, -X PUT, etc.)
• Headers (-H "Content-Type: application/json")
• Body (-d, --data, --data-raw, --data-binary)
• Form data (-F "file=@path")
• Basic auth (-u username:password, --user)
• Cookies (-b, --cookie)

The parser handles quoted strings, escaped characters, multiline commands (with \), and ANSI escape codes from terminal copy-paste.

Example

curl -X POST https://api.example.com/users \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer token123" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "Alice", "email": "alice@example.com"}'

Paste this into the URL bar and Reqline will fill in:

• Method: POST
• URL: https://api.example.com/users
• Headers: Authorization and Content-Type
• Body: JSON with the user data

The exported file includes the collection metadata and all its requests in a versioned format:

  "exportedAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
  "collection": { "name": "My API", "description": "..." },
  "requests": [...]
}

Import a collection
